DENTAL BRIDGE Concord, NH
Protection, stability, and confidence in every bite
A cracked tooth or a missing space can make simple acts like chewing dinner or smiling for photos feel stressful. Dental crowns and bridges solve those everyday frustrations by rebuilding shape, sealing out bacteria, and restoring proper bite contact.
A crown covers a single tooth that has lost strength from large decay, a root canal, or years of wear. By surrounding the entire surface, a crown prevents further cracking and allows you to chew normally without fear of breakage. Modern ceramics reflect light like natural enamel, so friends notice a healthy tooth, not dental work.
A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It anchors an artificial tooth to healthy neighbors, stopping adjacent teeth from drifting and protecting the balance of your bite. Filling the space also keeps food from packing into the gum, which reduces irritation and helps you brush more effectively.
Both options protect jaw joints from uneven stress and improve speech clarity. Many patients discover that headaches and muscle tension triggered by an uneven bite fade once lost height is rebuilt. Because Wall Street Dental Group offers both crowns and bridges, we guide you to the right choice based on tooth health, bone support, and long term goals.
CROWN DENTIST Concord, NH
Precise planning, gentle preparation, and beautiful results
Your journey begins with a careful exam that includes digital photos and low‑exposure X rays to reveal cracks or bone levels beneath the gum. We study how your teeth meet, note any grinding patterns, and discuss color goals so your new restoration blends perfectly. You receive a printed plan with timing and transparent fees before treatment starts. As an office in network with Delta Dental, we submit a pre authorization so you see exact benefit amounts in advance.
For a crown, we gently shape the tooth to remove weak or decayed areas while preserving strong enamel. For a bridge, we reshape the teeth that will support the artificial tooth so they receive protective caps. Local anesthetic keeps the procedure comfortable, and many patients enjoy a show or music while we work. A handheld scanner captures a three dimensional image of the prepared teeth. This replaces messy impressions and delivers pinpoint accuracy.
Your digital scan travels with shade photos and bite records to a master ceramist who layers porcelain over a zirconia or metal free core. Each ridge and groove is carved to match your natural chewing surfaces. For front teeth we add subtle translucency near the edges so light passes through like enamel. Back teeth receive extra thickness in high pressure zones for durability.
You leave the first visit with a smooth temporary restoration that protects the prepared teeth and lets you try out the new shape. Most patients adjust within a day or two and appreciate being able to smile confidently during the creation phase. If you request fine changes in length or contour, we relay that feedback to the lab before the final crown or bridge is finished.
At the placement visit we remove the temporary and rinse the tooth surfaces. Each crown or bridge is tried in without cement first so you can view shade, shape, and bite contacts from every angle. Once you approve, we bond the restoration securely with a high strength resin. A few minor bite adjustments help the new surfaces settle into harmony with the rest of your smile. The entire visit often finishes in forty minutes or less, and you can eat on your new tooth once numbness fades.
For patients who grind, we create a slim night guard to protect porcelain and natural enamel from excess pressure during sleep.

DENTAL BRIDGE COST Concord, NH
Simple care and regular visits protect your investment
Brush twice daily with a soft bristle brush and a fluoride toothpaste. Clean where the crown meets the gum to remove plaque and keep tissue healthy.
Floss around crowns as you would natural teeth. When you have a bridge, thread floss under the artificial tooth or use a water flosser to rinse away debris. We demonstrate several tools so you find the method that feels easiest.
Schedule professional cleanings every six months. Our hygienists use gentle instruments that polish porcelain without scratching. We take X rays every few years to confirm the supporting tooth or implant remains healthy.
Avoid biting hard non food items like ice or pen caps. While modern ceramics are strong, sudden force against a sharp object can chip edges. Cut very hard foods into smaller pieces and chew evenly on both sides.
Wear a protective mouthguard for contact sports or if you clench at night. A custom guard cushions biting forces and extends the life of all dental work.
With good home care and routine professional checks, crowns and bridges often last ten to fifteen years or longer. Many patients enjoy their restorations for decades before any maintenance is required.

Providing Clarity on Common Queries
With regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, most crowns and bridges remain strong and attractive for ten to fifteen years or more. Avoiding hard non food objects and wearing a night guard if you grind will extend their life further.
No. Local anesthetic numbs the teeth and surrounding tissue completely. You feel vibration and gentle pressure but no pain. Mild soreness in the gum can occur for a day or two and is easily managed with over the counter pain relief.
Delta Dental and many major plans cover a significant portion of restorative crowns and bridges when they are needed to repair decay or replace missing teeth. Cosmetic upgrades or elective materials may carry more out of pocket cost. Our administrative team provides an exact estimate before treatment.
A crown covers and strengthens a single damaged tooth. A bridge uses two or more crowns on healthy teeth or implants to support an artificial tooth that fills a gap. Both restore chewing and appearance, but a bridge also prevents neighboring teeth from drifting into the empty space.
